Welcome Studio Mechanics IATSE Local 492

Welcome IATSE Local 492, Studio Mechanics of Tennessee and Northern Mississippi to the Central Labor Council. CLC delegates voted unanimously and enthusiastically to welcome this newest affiliate Thursday night. The local union represents about 200 film and television professionals in Middle Tennessee including many who make the ABC/Lionsgate TV series Nashville possible.

“Nashville has become an 'it city' in recent years in part because of high profile TV series like ABC's Nashville. While the TV series is fictional, we know there are real men and men and women working hard behind scenes to make every project possible. We pledge our solidarity and support to those men and women, and look forward to working together to ensure the 'it city' has more high quality 'it careers' also deserving of national acclaim." – Vonda McDaniel, President Central Labor Council of Nashville and Middle TN
